England defeated Japan 52-17 in the first match of Eddie Jones' second tenure as Japan's head coach. Despite Japan's inexperience, featuring eight debutants, they managed to score two tries towards the end of the game. England's strong performance was highlighted by tries from Chandler Cunningham-South, Marcus Smith, and Immanuel Feyi-Waboso, among others. Jones acknowledged the promising signs in Japan's attack but noted the team needs to build physical and mental capacity to compete for a full 80 minutes. The match also marked a reunion between Jones and his former team, with England's coach Steve Borthwick fielding a strong side in preparation for their upcoming tour in New Zealand. Jones, optimistic about Japan's future, expressed confidence in the young team's potential.
